Up The River Down The River 

Fill a solo cup with beer. Take a deck of 52 cards. Two people each draw a card. The person with the highest number (1 - 13) doesn't have to do anything. The person who draws the lowest card has to chug the beer for the amount of seconds equal to the difference in the cards. (example: Anna draws a four, Patty draws a nine). Anna has to chug beer for five seconds (use a stop watch). If you draw a joker, the person who drew the joker has to chug for three times the amount of the other card (example: Patty draws a joker, Anna draws a six. Patty has to chug for 18 seconds). The goal of the game is to finish the entire deck of 52 cards in the shortest amount of time. Can be played with multiple teams going against each other.

city chicken 

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
